We all know we can't watch our kids every second of the day. There are things that need to get done, afterall, like designing christmas cards (me) or facebooking (Matt). We also know that kids can get into trouble if not carefully supervised.

This is what happens while I'm at the computer:

Isacc won't stop creating! (And making a mess in the process). This is what happens when mom is gone and dad is at the computer: The boys decided to try jumping off the bunk bed without adult supervision (as are the rules).Fortunately, the impact only squished the bone in Seth's foot together (I forget what it's called), so as soon as he was able, he was allowed to bear weight on it. We found that riding his bike was the best way he could play until he could run around! Even though he could weight-bear after two days, he wore the brace for 10 days and he passed inspection just in time for our trip to Utah!

Oh, those boys! What little hooligans! Creative hooligans! I am really embarrassed that you sometimes aren't looking at them during the day. How can we be related. I never take my eyes off my kids. (Right now I have one eye on the screen and one on the kids, of course)

I6- "I think there are small stalactites on our van." After he had noticed icicles at the bottom of the van doors.

I6 - "Does Santa watch the Science Channel to see how he can make toys and other things?"

Just a Thought...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God; your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."~ Marianne Williamson
